Call for Submissions 2014
Central States Communication Association Conference
Minneapolis, MN
Theme: "ELEVATE!"
April 2-6, 2014
The Argumentation and Forensics Interest Group welcomes all members of CSCA to submit competitive papers, programs, and interactive panels to be considered for acceptance at the 2014 CSCA conference. Our interest group focuses on argumentation theory, forensics, forensics & argumentation pedagogy, and the application of argument in one's life. Some topics discussed at last year's group meeting included:
1. The use of argumentation in the basic course
2. Forensic skills in such locations as middle schools, prisons, public debates
3. Building new forensic programs and restarting programs
4. Argumentation in a world of "opinion"
We will accept a diverse array of topic, but give special consideration to members who engage the conference theme. Emphasizing the linkages between argumentation and other group interests, we strongly encourage co-sponsored panels. An example of this type of work, discussed at last year's meeting, could be co-sponsoring a panel with the basic course in which the presenters discuss and analyze ways that we are using debate as a problem solving mechanism within our basic courses.
Awards:
There will be awards for the top paper, top panel, and top student paper. Thanks to the generous support of Dr. Robert Littlefield (North Dakota State University), we offer $200.00 a reward to the top undergraduate student submission.
Guidelines for submission:
1. Papers: Only completed papers that conform to the latest edition of the APA manual will be considered for acceptance. Include a title page for identification, but remove all author identification within the paper as to facilitate the blind review. Students, including graduate students, should identify their work as such by adding the word "STUDENT" in the upper right hand corner of their title page. This will allow us to consider such work for the award mentioned above.
2. Panels: Individuals proposing panels must complete and use the 2013 CSCA Panel Proposal Request Form available on the CSCA website. Panel submissions must also include the following: (a) title, (b) abstract, and (c) a complete list of participants along with their institutional affiliations, contact information (address, e-mail, and telephone), and if they are CSCA Members.
Procedural: All papers must be submitted electronically using Microsoft Word. Documents sent using any other format shall be returned to the sender. An e-mail acknowledging receipt of paper and panel proposals will be sent for each submission. All media requests must be made at the time of submission. Please only request media if it is absolutely essential to your presentation, as media requests will be closely examined before approval. Laptop computers will not be made available for presentations. Your submission implies that you agree to follow appropriate presentation guidelines if your paper/panel is accepted (i.e., it is generally unacceptable to read your paper to those in attendance).
Submissions must be received by October 4, 2013.
Send all submissions electronically to:
